Ruger M77 Hawkeye African 375 Ruger Left-Hand

Ruger M77 Hawkeye African: A Rifle Built for the Hunt

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye African represents the pinnacle of bolt-action rifle design for serious hunters pursuing dangerous game. Chambered in the powerful 375 Ruger cartridge, this left-handed rifle combines proven mechanical reliability with ergonomic refinement.

Mechanical Excellence

The Action: The heart of this rifle is Ruger's time-tested controlled round feed system. The non-rotating, Mauser-type extractor provides the most positive case extraction ever devised, while the fixed blade-type ejector positively ejects empty cases as the bolt cycles fully rearward. A three-position safety allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged—a critical feature in the field.

The Trigger: The LC6 trigger delivers smooth, crisp performance right out of the box, enhancing accuracy whether on the range or in pursuit of game.

The Barrel: A cold hammer-forged 23-inch barrel with ultra-precise rifling ensures exceptional accuracy and longevity. The barrel is threaded to accept Ruger's innovative muzzle brake system, which significantly reduces felt recoil—a welcome feature when handling magnum-class cartridges.

Practical Design Features

• Hinged solid-steel floorplate for easy unloading without cycling each cartridge
• Integral scope mounts machined directly into the receiver eliminate loose connections that compromise accuracy
• Express-style sights: Windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight and large white bead front sight for rapid target acquisition
• One-piece stainless steel bolt for durability and reliability

Stock and Ergonomics

The American walnut stock features rounded contours and wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend. The 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most shooters comfortably. An ebony forend cap adds both durability and aesthetic appeal.

The Muzzle Brake System

Ruger's removable radial-port muzzle brake significantly reduces recoil impulse. When you prefer less noise or are shooting in sensitive environments, simply replace the brake with the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight. A thread protector is also included. Critically, switching between brake and weight does not shift your point of impact.
